Objective:

Vitals: Wt 175 lbs, BMI 24.40 Index, Ht 5 ft 11 in.

Physical Examination:
Examination of the right hand and wrist reveals no evidence of skin abnormality. He does have swelling about the distal radius. His pain with palpation about the radius and ulna to palpation. Full digital range of motion. No pain with palpation about the remainder the hand. He does have some pain with palpation around the scapholunate articulation. Full elbow and shoulder range of motion. Normal motor sensation pulses skin examination distally.


Assessment:

Assessment:
1. Other extraarticular fracture of lower end of left radius, initial encounter for closed fracture - S52.552A (Primary)
2. Wrist pain, left - M25.532

Plan:

1. Other extraarticular fracture of lower end of left radius, initial encounter for closed fracture
Notes: I had a long discussion with the patient. I did describe doing an MRI of the wrist to evaluate the scapholunate ligament. We'll place him into a removable. All questions were answered.

2. Wrist pain, left
Imaging: Xray Wrist Complete Dorsal distal radius fracture noted. Or styloid fracture noted. Questionable widening about the scapholunate interval



Procedure Codes: 73110 X-RAY EXAM OF WRIST

Follow Up: after MRI and for fracture care
 
I believe the documentation is more than sufficient for a level 3 (assuming this is a new patient). HPI has at least 4 elements - location, duration, context and modifying factors - to make a comprehensive history. MDM is actually moderate - new problem with additional work-up planned, risk is moderate for a fracture.
